The Hawke Frontier Reflex Dot Sight 3 MOA – Weaver / Docter Footprint (Model 12162) is an unmagnified optical sight built for rapid target acquisition across close-to-medium ranges. Featuring 1x magnification and a wide 30 mm objective lens window, this reflex dot sight uses a high-efficiency LED emitter to project a precise 3 MOA red dot. It is constructed from lightweight aluminium, rated shockproof across all calibres, and supplied with a removable high-grade steel protective shroud for harsh operating environments. Power is delivered via a single CR2032 battery offering over 50,000 hours of continuous runtime, supported by Auto Illumination Mode (A.I.M.) motion-sensing sleep technology and a side-access battery tray for zero-retention battery swaps.

Key Features

• Optical System: Provides 1x magnification with a 30 mm objective lens, offering a parallax-free sight picture from 10 yards (9 metres) to infinity.
• Dual-Mode Illumination: Features an ambient-light digital auto-brightness mode alongside a 10-stage manual control (8 daylight levels and 2 night-vision compatible levels).
• A.I.M. Standby: Automatically puts the LED into sleep mode after 2 minutes of inactivity, instantly restoring illumination upon detecting movement.
• Side Battery Access: Incorporates a slide-out CR2032 battery tray with a captured retention screw, allowing power cell changes without dismounting the optic or altering zero.
• Mounting Versatility: Features a native Docter/Noblex footprint and includes both a low-profile Weaver/Picatinny base adapter and a Glock MOS adapter plate.
• Steel Shroud Kit: Ships with a bolt-on steel housing cover to protect the glass and internal components against blunt impacts during field use.

Who is the Hawke Frontier Reflex Dot Sight for?

• IPSC handgun competition shooters — benefits from this reflex dot sight's generous 30 mm objective lens window and 1x magnification, providing an expansive field of view for rapid sight alignment on Docter or Glock MOS mounting plates.
• Pest control shotgun and rifle hunters — utilizes the 1 MOA click value adjustments and 3 MOA red dot to maintain fast, accurate target acquisition on running game at distances inside 100 metres without losing zero across heavy-recoil platforms.
• Tactical and duty firearm operators — relies on the 50,000+ hours of continuous battery life and motion-activated A.I.M. standby mode in this reflex dot sight to ensure constant optic readiness when deployed with the protective steel shroud.

Less suitable for: Long-range precision shooting at distances beyond 100–150 metres, where the 3 MOA dot subtends 3 to 4.5+ inches of the target; shooters requiring precision at extended distances should consider a 1–6x low-power variable optic (LPVO) or a traditional magnified riflescope.
